  2. Forensic Science Service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_Science_Service

    The FSS suffered damage to its reputation following the failure to recover blood stains from a shoe in the murder of Damilola Taylor. [6] Further damage occurred when the FSS failed to use the most up-to-date techniques for extracting DNA samples in cases between 2000 and 2005. [ 7 ]

  3. What does failing to yield mean? Wello answers ... - AOL

    The second topic of interest was, "How does a motorist yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk with two lanes of traffic in the same direction in a way that is safe for both the pedestrian and driver?"

  4. Factor of safety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_of_safety

    The yield calculation will determine the safety factor until the part starts to deform plastically. The ultimate calculation will determine the safety factor until failure. In brittle materials the yield and ultimate strengths are often so close as to be indistinguishable, so it is usually acceptable to only calculate the ultimate safety factor.

  5. Flats Sequencing System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flats_Sequencing_System

    Flats Sequencing System (FSS) is an automated system used by the US Postal Service. It uses a dual pass sort technique to sort flats all the way to delivery sequence order. Prior to the deployment of FSS machines, flats were machine sorted to the route level only.

  6. Material failure theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_failure_theory

    Material failure theory is an interdisciplinary field of materials science and solid mechanics which attempts to predict the conditions under which solid materials fail under the action of external loads. The failure of a material is usually classified into brittle failure or ductile failure .

  7. Fail-fast system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-fast_system

    In that sense, a fail-fast system will make sure that all the 10 redundant servers fail as soon as possible to make the DevOps react fast. Fail-fast components are often used in situations where failure in one component might not be visible until it leads to failure in another component as a consequence of lazy initialization. e.g.

  8. Frequency selective surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_selective_surface

    The FSS sheet may be represented in terms of lumped RLC networks placed in parallel across the transmission line. The shunt admittance FSS model is exact only for an infinitesimally thin FSS, for which the tangential electric field is continuous across the FSS; for finite thickness FSS, a tee or pi network can be used as a better approximation.

  9. Fizzle (nuclear explosion) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizzle_(nuclear_explosion)

    A fizzle occurs when the detonation of a device for creating a nuclear explosion (such as a nuclear weapon) grossly fails to meet its expected yield. The bombs still detonate, but the detonation is much weaker than anticipated. The cause(s) for the failure might be linked to improper design, poor construction, or lack of expertise.
